Thursday afternoon’s game is the third time in the last ten seasons that the Miami Hurricanes and Wisconsin are playing in a bowl game. Both of those games were won by the Badgers. Wisconsin won the Champs Sports Bowl 20-14 (now the Camping World Bowl) in Orlando in 2009.
Miami enters the game with a two-game winning streak after winning at Virginia Tech and Senior Day over Pittsburgh in their 2018 home finale over the Panthers. That flipped a two-game losing streak entering the Orange Bowl last season.
Wisconsin travels to New York with losses in four of its final seven games of the 2018 season.
